Law of the Devil

When Alpha returned to Gilliat City single-handedly. The battlefield under the city has already been cleaned up. All the corpses of the prairie wolves had been buried, and the loess above the battlefield was still permeated with bright red blood, so they rode their horses past. Alpha could even smell the strong smell of blood in the air.

in the sky. A few vultures were still circling in the distance.

Under the head of the city. Above the wilderness, the first place Alpha saw was not Du Wei.

It turned out to be the place where the prairie people camped. Hundreds of wooden stakes were densely inserted on the ground, on top of those wooden stakes. Coyote captives were stripped naked. Hanging high on a wooden frame.

Alpha approached. Just found out. These stakes are in the shape of a cross. From a distance, those prairie people were tied to the ground, but when they got closer, they looked. Not so!

Everyone was stripped of their clothes and blood was splashed all over their bodies. Then open your hands, forming a cross shape. The palms of both palms were nailed to the stake!

Under the scorching sun, those captives were dying. The carrion-eating vultures in the sky are watching.

Next to him, Du Wei sat on a chair. Behind him stood more than a dozen men with murderous faces. He looked coldly at these grassland captives tied to the cross.

"My lord, this is the last batch." A cavalryman from Tulip's family whispered behind him.

"Okay, load the car." Du Wei nodded: "Remember. Give them some food and drink along the way, don't die all at once, understand?"

The cavalry bowed and retreated.

After Alpha rode his horse and approached. He turned over and walked up to Du Wei.

"You're finally back." Du Wei looked at Uncle Alpha. As if smiling, there was warmth in his eyes: "I thought you left me."

Alpha was silent for a while. He shook his head and said, "Master, since I have promised Mr. Raymond, I will not leave your land until I die."

Du Wei smiled. But he didn't smile happily, walked up to Alpha, and glanced up and down at Alpha. He saw the exhaustion of the former chief guard: "Let's go in and say, I think there must be a special reason for your sudden disappearance for a few days. Right?"

Alpha nodded. But he suddenly glanced at the prairie captives who were tied to the cross: "They..."

"I ordered this." Du Wei said lightly: "This time we captured thousands of people. I didn't intend to keep these beasts to waste food. All the people were nailed to the pillars. I ordered to use carts Take these people to patrol around my territory! Let everyone who sees understand one thing...Northwest Desa, as long as I, Du Wei, will not let these grassland people hit our home at will Come!"

It is indeed a good way to establish success and buy people's hearts.

Alpha sighed inwardly. But looking at Du Wei whose eyes became more and more cold day by day, for some reason, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Even some legacy. The young master has changed, he is no longer the one who hid in the small building and studied. The earl's son who is polite to everyone in the family.

Him now. Thousands of captive lives. It was decided at the moment of his thought.

But Alpha wasn't the kind of pedantic guy who would do anything to the enemy. He just glanced at a dying guy tied to a pillar beside him, and then withdrew his gaze: "Master, I'm going after that golden wolf head this time."

"Oh?" Du Wei's eyes lit up, after the war. In one fell swoop, the opponent's 20,000 elite riders were defeated. It can be said that the Northwest has won a big victory that has not been seen in more than 20 years, but it is a pity that the golden wolf head ran away. It is really the biggest hate: "You chase..."

He was about to ask if he had caught up. But looking at Alpha's hands are empty. There was no sign of a head hanging on the horse, so he immediately changed his words: "You chased hard, so go back to the city first."

Alpha shook his head: "It's hard work. I caught up with the golden wolf head. But I didn't have a chance to kill him and bring his head back. However, I found something even more surprising."

In the former Governor's Mansion in Giliat City, Du Wei listened to Alpha narrate what he saw. Everyone cursed angrily.

"What a cunning Northwest Army!"

"Damn guy!"

"mean!!"

for a while. The one who scolded the loudest was Al Qaeda, the little two hundred and five. But Du Wei's face didn't change when he heard it. I just thought about it quietly. He smiled faintly: "It's not surprising. If it were me, I'm afraid I would do the same... This General Lu Gao can be regarded as a quick reaction, huh!"

The Northwest Army is nominally a frontier garrison army, but they dared to let grassland people into the imperial territory! This is already a serious crime! If it was the time in Niuli Town before, about 2,000 cavalry from the other side were sent in to search for monsters. Quietly. There is no trouble, and there is no evidence afterwards, so it's okay.

But this time, it seemed as if tens of thousands of troops from the other side came in and openly attacked the cities of the imperial territory! It also alarmed the defenders, as well as the garrison of Governor Bohan in the neighboring province!

Such a big movement can't be concealed, and the imperial capital will definitely get the news!

Although the imperial capital has always been beyond the reach of the Northwest Army and lacks effective means of restraint, it is only because the Northwest Army is implicitly self-reliant. But these years have been fairly honest, not doing too many drastic things, and not touching the bottom line of the central empire!

But openly put tens of thousands of troops in the opponent! Such a move, although it has not yet blatantly raised the flag of rebellion. But it is no different from treason!

Behave like this. It has greatly surpassed the bottom line of the central government of the empire. I am afraid that even if the central government can bear it, this kind of thing will definitely not be able to bear it!

The Northwest Army doesn't want to really tear their faces apart, at least for now it seems that they don't want to openly rebel. So, do it this way. It's General Lu Gao's remedy!

Looking at the subordinates who filled the store with righteous indignation, Du Wei smiled lightly. He said to himself: "Well, it should be roughly like this... If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that the people sent by the Northwest Army to the Imperial Military Command to ask for credit are already on their way."

"Please credit?!" Little Erbaiwu Gaida suddenly roared angrily: "They still have the face to request credit? If it weren't for these bitches who let those prairie people in, how could our brothers die so many!! They also asked Gong? All these traitorous bastards should be hanged!"

Du Wei was not angry, and looked at al-Qaeda: "They have long been traitors. If they were really capable of hanging them, do you think the military will endure until today?"

"But... no matter what, it's not a plea for credit!! No matter what, the crime of letting the prairie army in can't be erased! Such a big crime. Don't you say that if you don't pursue it, you won't be prosecuted?!" Gaida blushed and had a thick neck. .

Du Wei sneered: "So what? Hmph, kill the Golden Wolf Head Guard! After all, he is a Golden Wolf Head! One of the four major army commanders on the grassland! Al Qaeda, more than 20 years ago. The empire has Is there such a great contribution? Is there any record of beheading such a high-level enemy chieftain on the grassland? This is the first time in more than 20 years! Such a great contribution. If the Northwest Army doesn’t invite it, who will?!”

"We kill the enemy! We defend the city! We kill the people! If we want to talk about credit, it must be our Tulip family!" Al Qaeda said this, and suddenly added: "There is also Governor Bohan. He also sent troops to help us quell the chaos!"

"So what... the golden wolf head died at the hands of the Northwest Army." Du Wei sighed: "The central government of the empire doesn't want to go to war. The Northwest Army doesn't want to go to war either! The so-called asking for credit is just a gesture of the Northwest Army. The army sent the head of the golden wolf head. It means: Promise. I don’t want to rebel. If the empire gives credit to the Northwest Army, it means: I don’t want to fight either! Maybe the imperial capital will make superficial articles and give some rewards. Even money and food rewards and the like."

Al-Qaeda was, after all, just a rough man. His face was flushed red, but he couldn't speak a word. Finally, he stomped his feet hard. He yelled: "Mom! I just can't figure it out!"

finished. The fierce general lost his face and walked out, and he didn't know where to vent his anger.

Du Wei glanced at Robert. Sighing: "Knight Robert, go out and watch this little Erbaiwu, don't let him do anything..."

Robert smiled faintly: "Commander al-Qaeda is just a little irritable, but he still has a sense of proportion. At most, he will go out to find a few prisoners. Just whip the whip hard to vent his anger."

"That's good, those prairie people. If he smokes, I don't feel bad if he smokes to death." Du Wei tapped the table with his fingers, with Gu Lulong's smile in his mouth, and whispered: "Lu Gao, Lu Gao... ...What on earth are you thinking? You don't want to openly rebel. Kill the golden wolf head. It can be regarded as stabilizing the imperial capital... But what about the grassland? If the golden wolf head died on the grassland, will you be spared? This time the grassland people Come in, there is a Witch King behind you! Aren’t you, Lu Gao, afraid of the Witch King’s revenge? Daxueshan... well, Daxueshan..."

Thinking of this, Du Wei looked at Alpha: "Uncle Alpha, you are really sure. That son of Lu Gao... used Frost Dou Qi? Is it Rodriguez's lineage of martial arts? But I heard that Rodriguez seems to be Self-taught. Haven't heard of any teachers he had?"

Alpha shook his head. Rodriguez has always acted in a low-key manner. Few people know his origin.

Du Wei sighed and thought to himself, only when he sees Rodriguez in the future can he ask him.

Hussein came back from the frozen forest that day and brought the beauty under the moon. It tells the story of the Dragon Clan coming to seek revenge. Rodriguez also let Hussein convey. Said he was persuaded by a man. Ready to come to the Northwest to join him. Help yourself.

It's just, who persuaded him to listen to, so that a paladin-level master would willingly work for him... The person who persuaded Rodriguez has a lot of energy!

Du Wei didn't know at the moment that the person who persuaded Rodriguez was a blue ocean scholar.

He doesn't know yet. Lan Haidi's real name is Lan Haiyue. He is also a disciple of Daxueshan.

He doesn't even know. He found the relic of Gu Lanxiu from the underground passage. The former Great Snow Mountain Witch King, Gu Lanxiu, was also Lan Haidi's master.

"I know this matter... Lu Gao's son is actually such a powerful master... Uncle Alpha, from your point of view, how good is that guy? How is he better than you? He hasn't reached the holy rank?"

Alpha shook his head: "There is no holy rank. But... If you compare me, I'm afraid I may not be his opponent. His appearance. His strength should be eighth or ninth rank. And I am only eighth rank."

"Young genius master." Du Wei sighed: "Our prince..." At this point, he coughed and immediately changed his tone. He laughed and said: "The traitor of the temple back then. That Hussein. Known as the number one knight in the mainland, he seems to have reached the eighth level. He is not as young as this major general? Why have we never heard of it before. Lu Gao's son has such sharp?"

Alpha shook his head: "It was my dereliction of duty, young master. In the information I collected on the Northwest Army, there is not much information about Lu Gao's son."

Du Wei shook his head: "Perhaps it's because he is usually very low-key. You are not to blame for this matter. If the other party hides it deliberately, it will be difficult for outsiders to find out clearly."

Du Wei stayed in Gilliat City for a few days. There is news. The two divisions of the Northwest Army surrounding the city of Loulan had already withdrawn, and a group of people from the Longbottom and Hussein regiments had heard the battle in Gilliat. They also brought their own people to Gilliat City to join Du Wei.

Although everyone hates the Northwest Army's behavior of eating inside and out. But after all, their strength is much greater than their own now. There is not much to do.

After discussing with most of his subordinates again. The remaining cavalry was led by Longbottom and Al Qaeda. Continue to patrol the entire Desa Province to clear up the remaining scattered troops on the grassland that may remain.

And finally. Du Wei gave a strange order.

"Have someone approve the carriages for me... I'm going on a long trip. Then, send someone to make a pennant for me! The bigger the better! The workmanship must be gorgeous and beautiful! The flags... embroider some for me big letters!"

Alpha was a little puzzled: "Master, what do you want to write? What do you want the pennant for?"

"Of course it's a gift." Du Wei sneered, "Just embroider on the flag...um. Embroider the hero of the country, the role model of the army! Just write it like this. The bigger the writing, the better!"

Alpha vaguely guessed something: "Master, you want to..."

"I want to pay a visit to General Lu Gao of the Northwest Army." Du Wei sneered, "It's been a year since I've been in the Northwest. It's really rude that I haven't met the leader of the Legion. Since he didn't come to look for him Me, I'll just go and see him."

finished. Du Wei didn't ask Alpha to say anything more. Waved Alpha to go down to the big pennant.

"Du Wei. What do you want to do?"

Only Hussein and Du Wei were left in the room.

"I want to go and see this old bastard." Du Wei smiled faintly: "This time we were tricked by the Northwest Army. If we don't cause them some trouble, I don't have to hang around in the Northwest anymore!"

Hussein frowned: "But, if you come to see him, aren't you afraid that the sheep will be like a tiger?"

Du Wei smiled strangely: "The Northwest Army took the initiative to kill the golden wolf head. It also showed favor to the empire... Although this is very clever, it also exposed Lu Gao's bottom line! He doesn't want to rebel now! At least not now!! So, He won't really do anything to me! On the contrary, instead of detaining me or hurting me, he must step up his efforts to protect my safety. He must not let me do anything on his territory. Otherwise, if a The Duke of the Empire died in his home, so even if he didn’t rebel! So...he absolutely dare not hurt me, and he will try his best to protect me!”

Speaking of this, Du Wei said slowly: "One month is almost over... Speaking of it, it is almost in the past few days, the second prince of the dragon clan should come to trouble me? When the time comes... I will trouble the northwest There are more than 200,000 soldiers in the army, please let them act as my bodyguards!"

Du Wei smiled insidiously: "Let people go out for a walk to hear the news. It is said that Duke Tulip went to pay a visit to General Lu Gao, the head of the Northwest Army. Some. Make it more obvious...I want the Second Dragon Prince to know that I am in the Northwest Army!.
